Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of curtain wall installation, and in particular to a curtain wall installation system that spans structural expansion joints. Background Technology
[0002] A glass curtain wall refers to an exterior building envelope or decorative structure that is supported by a structural system and has a certain displacement capacity relative to the main structure, without sharing the loads of the main structure. With the rapid development of urban economies, people have increasingly higher requirements for building facades, demanding not only functional performance but also aesthetic appeal. Glass curtain walls are highly favored by designers because they can ensure aesthetics while fulfilling the building's functional requirements. As the application of glass curtain walls continues to expand, its application scenarios are also increasing.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent application CN202320985012.9 discloses an aluminum panel expansion joint assembly for curtain wall structures. The assembly includes aluminum profile mounting boxes fixedly assembled to the curtain wall frame on both sides of the expansion joint, an aluminum plate spanning between the two mounting boxes, and a waterproof tape disposed on the rear side of the aluminum plate. The fixed end of the aluminum plate extends into and is fixedly assembled to the corresponding mounting box, while the movable end extends into and is slidably assembled to the corresponding mounting box. Both ends of the waterproof tape are fixedly assembled to the corresponding mounting boxes. Using this aluminum panel expansion joint assembly reduces the impact on the overall aesthetics of the glass curtain wall and improves waterproof performance.
[0004] This installation method is only applicable to the case where the curtain wall spans the expansion joint. However, it is no longer applicable to the case where the curtain wall keel crosses the expansion joint. In view of the above-mentioned case, this application provides an installation scheme for the curtain wall keel to cross the expansion joint. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a curtain wall installation system that spans structural expansion joints.

[0009] In this utility model, a curtain wall installation system spanning structural expansion joints is further described, wherein the side of the lower transition aluminum plate is connected to the vertical member.
[0010] In this utility model, a curtain wall installation system spanning structural expansion joints is further characterized by the upper part of the lower transition aluminum plate being recessed to form a recess, and the lower part of the upper transition aluminum plate being overlapped on the outside of the recess and slidingly engaged with the recess.
[0011] Furthermore, in this utility model, a curtain wall installation system spanning structural expansion joints is provided with thermal insulation cotton on the back of the lower transition aluminum plate.
[0012] In this utility model, a curtain wall installation system spanning structural expansion joints is further provided, wherein the installation frame is filled with thermal insulation cotton and a galvanized steel plate is installed on the outside of the installation frame.
[0013] In this utility model, a curtain wall installation system spanning structural expansion joints is further provided with an isolation steel plate on the top surface of the installation frame, the upper end of which abuts against the front end face of the horizontal keel.
[0014] In this utility model, a curtain wall installation system spanning structural expansion joints is further provided with sealant between the upper and lower transition aluminum plates.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: 1. By installing the curtain wall system on the connector spanning the expansion joint, and then installing a transition system between structure B and the curtain wall system, the upper and lower transition aluminum plates can adapt to the deformation between structure A and structure B by sliding between the upper and lower transition aluminum plates when the positions of structure A and structure B are misaligned. 2. By setting up an installation frame on structure B, the lower transition aluminum plate is fixed to the installation frame, ensuring the installation stability of the lower transition aluminum plate. By setting up insulation cotton and galvanized steel plate inside the installation frame, the heat insulation and fireproof performance of the non-curtain wall area is ensured. 3. Install gusseted rubber strips between structure B and the horizontal keel to ensure a good seal in non-curtain wall areas.
